Jigawa community laments scarcity of water

The residents of Kazura community in Birniwa Local Government Area (LGA) of Jigawa have lamented over acute water scarcity and appealed to the state government to come to their rescue.

Aide to the Kazura village head, Alhaji Wali Kazura told newsmen the community had reported the issue to the local government council but nothing has been done to reduce their suffering.

Kazura said the scarcity has forced people to trek miles to nearby villages in search of clean water.

However, spokesman of the council, Alhaji Abdullahi Yakubu gave an assurance that the management would soon come to the aid of the people.
